Journalism is the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast. Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism
Photojournalism employs images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases, the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalists create pictures that contribute to the news media and help communities connect with one other. Photojournalists must be well informed and knowledgeable about events happening right outside their door.I would use photojournalism to present a true view of today society
When researching photojournalism I came across Steve McCurry who is a highly respected photographer but had lost some of his credibility, as he regards his images as being documentary and capturing ‘the truth’ but on closer inspection by members of the public it can be seen that his work had been digitally altered, or people have come forward to say that they where asked to be in a staged.
So to compact this problem I wanted to shoot my images on a disposable camera.
Because once the images are taken they can no longer be worked back into, so when a disposable camera is used in photojournalism the image will be the real and untouched versions.
